Box Sync Installation
As a user, I would like to be able to link the new Box Sync folder to the existing Box Sync folder when I uninstall/reinstall Box Sync.

This is especially true because I used folder redirection so any files on my Desktop, Videos, or Pictures folders would get backed up via Box sync.
C:\Users\username\Box Sync\LaptopSyncedFiles\Desktop
C:\Users\username\Box Sync\LaptopSyncedFiles\Documents
C:\Users\username\Box Sync\LaptopSyncedFiles\Pictures
C:\Users\username\Box Sync\LaptopSyncedFiles\VideosUpon a reinstall I'm informed I must delete the old C:\Users\username\Box Sync\ folder and re-download everything. Since those are Windows OS folders I cannot just delete them nor do I want to have to redownload all my data again.
If Box Drive supported folder redirection that would have been nice.
I had to use folder redirection because some software always stores things in username\Videos which was never in my Box Sync folder.

This would save me over 60GB of re-downloading.
